Two spectacular performances by Alex Augier and Florent Di Bartolo at Cricoteka, a place created for experimental and avant-garde projects. Cricoteka is a partner of this event.
SPACE FLARES
hex/A\ | Alex Augier
hex/A\ is an audio, video and laser performance. The whole design evokes the sequencing, looping and sampling techniques and inscribes the project in one of the best-known practices of electronic music. However, hex/A\ inscribes this practice in a transversal approach by integrating generative visual, space, new ways of performing and avant-garde interface. The laser enhances the video and the perception that we have of it by its spatial character and spectral purity. The project defends a crossover aesthetic by its approach both minimal, geometric, linked to data and organic, complex, linked to nature.
Solar flares | Florent Di Bartolo
An audiovisual performance about solar activity with real-time graphics and electronic music composed with modular synthesizers. It uses data about solar activities to animate visual forms and shape sound waves. The data being used relates to the solar magnetic activity cycle: a nearly periodic 11-year change in the sun’s activity and appearance. They include changes in the levels of solar radiation and evolutions in the number and size of sunspots and flares.
The work was realised within the framework of a European Media Art Platform residency program at the RIXC Centre for New Media Culture, co-funded by the European Union and co-funded by the RIXC Centre for New Media Culture.
